Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. R announcer this is cnn breaking news. Breaking news. President trump is threatening new moves against china in a sharply escalating trade war. U. S.

Goods, retaliating for an earlier move by the president. President trump insists americans will benefit from tariffs, even though consumers, manufactu
Rodent infested mess. And when critics said calling an American City rodent infested was racist, he tried to flip the script. And without explanation, insisted cummings was a racist. The hits continuing today, all of it part of trumps pattern of attacking democrats of color, a pattern that goes back years. Trump responded, tweeting, congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime infested. The president then suggested they, go back and help fix the totally broken and crimeinfested places from which they came. Here we go again, President Trump spends another weekend unleashing another twitter attack at another member of congress who happens to be of color. And we have new reporting. That trump isnt just deploying racist attacks. Hes doing it purposefully because he thinks its going to help him politically. The Washington Post reporting that trumps advisors believe the overall message sen
You get a subpoena, you get a subpoena, and everybody gets a subpoena. Everybodys got one under their seats right now. Since the special counsels investigation was ended, under circumstances we still dont totally explain still dont totally understand and since the special Counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report about that investigation, weve been living in this very specific era.

It is plan so they could move again. But the timing is notable because barr is picking when to release his redacted version of this obviously very anticipated report. Now it could be a monday to start the week. It could be a friday or the weekend, like some of his memorable letters. It could be good friday. That hits this week. And im here to tell you tonight, barr is pretty close because hes told the world for the first time today that of all the days that could begin if multiday process of reading and reacting to this redacted report, the attorney general has picked the eve of good friday and passover, which could be a sign that barr wants to use this process to try to play down the report heading into a friday Holiday Weekend rather than play it up. And thats interesting because it matches these new reports that trumps team is concerned about whats in this report, with plans to uncork a potentially aggressive response, including a rebuttal from Rudy Giuliani in a socalled counterrep
The man many supporters refer to as king bb. So lets begin with orrin lieberman in tel aviv at the headquarters. What is the mood there and what happens if this is, indeed, a close race. Reporter brooke, there are very much nervous jitters here in the headquarters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu party and they dont know whether the event scheduled for tonight is a celebration party, netanyahu giving a victory speech in a few hours or a concession speech. This is a very close race throughout the last round of election polls showing that netanyahu was behind a few seats. He has played that up as the underdog card telling voterers they need to come out and vote and that his rightwing government is in danger of losing this if they dont come out and vote that, voter turnout is a question question and how successful netanyahu effort to get that vote out has been. East posted to twitter and facebook in the last couple of hours to make sure that vote has come out. We are minutes away here
